Aspect on semi-log plots

The aspect parameter can be used to set the aspect of a plot:

%%opts Curve [ aspect=2]
hv.Curve((np.linspace(0.1,10 )))

However, when setting one of the axis to log, the aspect parameter is ignored:

%%opts Curve [logy=True, aspect=2]
hv.Curve((np.linspace(0.1,10 ),np.linspace(0.1,100 )))

A temporary solution is to set the figure size to force it to be square:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(  )
ax.set_yscale("log", nonposy='clip')
...
fig_size = fig.get_size_inches()
fig.set_size_inches( fig_size[1]*1.1, fig_size[1]*1.1 )

the 1.1 scaling is for avoiding cuts in the labels, should be adapted for case to case.

@philippjfr - You say you have a fix for loglog plots, but I still cannot get an equal aspect ratio for them. Anytime I attempt to set it - it squishes the X axis while elongating the y axis. Otherwise, its pretty much the opposite.

plt.scatter(n_data[x_group], n_data[y_group], marker='D', s=23) 

axes = plt.gca()
axes.set_xlim([min_x,max_x])
axes.set_ylim([min_y,max_y])

plt.plot([min_x, max_x], [min_y, max_y], 'k-')
plt.loglog()
plt.gca().set_aspect('equal', adjustable='box')

Results in something like this:

Am I doing something inherently wrong with trying to get an equal aspect ratio? Is there any workaround? I’ve also tried setting the xscale and yscale to logs, same thing.

Similar code, but for non log/log gives something like this:
